    Wireless LCD controller Battery does not hold charge. Loses console connection if device is more than 5ft away from console as well. Very poor materials and sub-par quality.

    Game consoler isn’t terrible, has nice gradient but poor game section. The huge tablet can get annoying after awhile and the system has over heated before so get geek squad.

    I needed help with up to date info on this product but after waiting in the video game department for almost 20 minutes no one was around to answer questions, I had to go up to security to see if they could find someone to help finally someone came over but not very knowledgeable on this product (WII U) I did buy it but was very unhappy with the service, I have been a customer for a long time and an a member of your geek squad program. Please look into this matter for me.

    Nothing wrong with the system, and Mario Kart 8 is a great game, but I just rarely ever played this system. Sold it on Craigslist.

    I recently purchased this in hopes of hours of fun. Perhaps I need to try more games because so far, the experience is lack luster.

    Thought the portable controller was mobile in the sense that it could be taken and used in the car on a trip for example.
